Paul The Programmer

VBA is short for Visual Basic for Applications or, as I like to call it, very basic.

VBA is extremely simple to understand and learn, unless your complex, in which case it isn't.

VBA can carry out complex and repetitive tasks, or bugs as most programmers prefer to call them.

VBA cannot carry your shopping home on the bus, or drive your car.

VBA is a computer language, easier to understand than Bulgarian (believe me I am trying to).

VBA - think of it as an ordered shopping list of To Do instructions for the computer, without the eggs, milk and bread.

VBA is built into Microsoft Office programs, like Excel, Word and Access, and it's how you get them to talk with one another. Unless theyve fallen out.

VBA is written using an editor program. This will point out your mistakes. It would also be nice if it corrected them too, but that up to you, my friend.
